The Automated Call Report Filer brings general ledger, loan, deposit and investment data together and maps it to the schedules of the FFIEC Call Report for banks or the NCUA 5300 Call Report for credit unions. It runs the published validation edits and your own reconciliation checks before anyone signs, and records every adjustment with its reason. Your finance team reviews and approves the report, and a person at your institution submits it.

What it is for

At most banks and credit unions the Call Report is built each quarter in spreadsheets: data pulled from the core and general ledger, mapped by hand to hundreds of line items, and checked against the edits only when the filing system rejects something. Reconciliations between schedules, and between the report and the ledger, live in workbooks that one or two people understand. When an examiner or auditor asks where a figure came from, or why it changed from last quarter, the answer has to be rebuilt.

  • Line items are mapped by hand from ledger and subledger extracts every quarter
  • Validation edits are found late, when the filing system rejects the submission
  • Manual adjustments and their reasons are scattered across workbooks and emails
  • Tracing a reported figure back to source data takes hours of rework

Who uses it

  • Controllers and regulatory reporting teams at community banks
  • CFOs and finance staff at credit unions who prepare the 5300
  • Accounting staff who reconcile subledgers to the general ledger
  • Internal audit, who test the reporting process
  • Examiners, who ask how reported figures were derived
